Wondered why it took this long but looks like Philips beat everybody else to it — claiming the first Android-based MP4 player (Philips GoGear Connect) which they will officially unveil at the IFA in Berlin, Germany.
I’m thinking this could be the one that could probably match the prowess of the iPod Touch.
3.2-inch touchscreen (113×12.6×59 mm)
WiFi 802.11 b/g
built-in camera
microSD card slot
The unit weighs about 128 grams but the rest of the details are still unknown. Philips GoGear Connect will be available in Western Europe, USA & China from the end of October 2010 with recommended retail price is EUR249 (about Php14,300) for the 16GB version.
On a side note, I’m actually all set to go to Berlin for IFA this week-end but unfortunately my Schengen Visa could not make it. I’m going to miss a lot of announcements there.
what is the Version of DIVX file can support the Philips Gogear. :-)
i am serious i can cover the event for you you can call me at +4369919158512 pinoy ako :)
i can cover it for you gave im in austria all i need is a train ticket and hostel hahaha!
hello…
may i ask if what cell phone units do you guys recommend na pede ko bilhin dito which can perform well din sa US?
Ur response wud be much appreciated.
i need more video review for this.. kung mas maganda to sa touch!!!!
14k for 16 GB of storage?
I hope that’s a misprint, or they should be prepared for a massive price cut when the updated 2010 iPod touch arrives
i think it should be called PMP because it plays more than an mp4 and philips doesn’t call it that. it supports .mp3, .wma, .m4a (AAC), .ogg, and .flac audio; .wmv, .mp4 (MPEG4 and H264 up to 720p), .avi (MPEG4 up to 720p) video; and JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP, TIFF images
I wish it does have a native divx/xvid player
I do hope this pmp can install apps from android market
This is very nice!
